[Bug 1660] New: ssh makes use of a shell which fails causing vista to open a failed program window
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660 Summary: ssh makes use of a shell which fails causing vista to open a failed program window Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 5.1p1 Platform: ix86 OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ssh AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org ReportedBy: mcconkeyb at shaw.ca I am running ssh in a cygwin shell in windows vista. When I use the X11 forwarding feature (either -x or -Y) it appears that ssh opens another shell using sh.exe and uses this shell to run the xauth.exe program. When this program returns it appears to be some type of a failed condtion (not sure just assuming here). Then the sh.exe program stops and closes. This causes vista to generate a "program has stopped working" window and prompt. The same thing happens under XP, but XP does not create a user prompt, but instead just lets the sh.exe program die unannounced. I am hoping that someone can change the way ssh deals with the closing of the sh.exe shell to stop the windows user prompt from occuring. I have spent at least 12 hours searching for solutions to this problem and have seen it reported several times, without a solution provided (well at least not a useful solution). Just a lot of finger pointing between cygwin, windows, and openssh. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.

If this is not a bug, then what should it be called? As for the support forms, I have already tried that, as I described above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660 --- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> 2009-10-22 11:33:28 EST --- It sounds like a Windows/Cygwin configuration issue to me. Did you ask anyone on a Cygwin mailing list? If they can unambiguously tell us that we are invoking the shell incorrectly then we can treat it as a bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
